Power Survey
Asked Here
The power situation in the Kla
math area may be Included in an
economic survey now under way
by Harm, Campbell and associates
01 Burllngame, Calif., following a
request made by Klamath County
chamber of commerce directors
Wednesday following a report from
the chamber's executive committee.
This phase of the survey is re
quested due to concern felt over
the power situation and recently
the chamber had its attention di
rected in the matter by various Kla
math firms and Individuals. The
matter of daylight savings also en
ters into the picture, directors observed.
The directors passed a motion at
noon urging president Truman to
sign a bill which would transfer
Shasta lake from the park service to
the forest wrvlce. The chamber had
previously urged passage of the
bill which has been approved by
both houses and Is now in the pres
ident's hands. Directors believe
there would oe a more liberal policy
in respect to recreational usage of
the area, if control would be con
ti oiled by the forest service.
The chamber reiterated opposi
tion to valley authorities, such as
U'.e Columbia valley authority, as
proposed in legislation now pending
in congress.

Austrian Gi
VIENNA, March 11 M") A 19-year-old
Austrian girl, her face still
swollen from the blow of a Russian
gun butt, said Wednesday she un
derwent gruelling questioning by the
Russians after her American com
panion was shot In the back by a
Soviet sentry.
Red-haired Elfriede Elias said she
was seized by the Russians while
trying to give first aid to Pfc. Jack
Orunden, 18. of Portland, Ore., the
unarmed American who was beaten
and shot in a scuffle with Russian
soldiers Sunday night.
She said she was taken through
a back door of the Russian-occupied
Grand hotel and driven to Russian
headquarters. There, she said, she
was questioned three times by Rus
sian officers before being released
Monday night.
Miss Elias said she had signed a
statement dictated by the Russians
and was warned:
"If you tell another story to the
Americans later on, we will find you.
vherever you are, and then you
will see what happens to you."

Dr. Papanek told a hurriedly
cauea news conierence at UN head
quarters that he had submitted to

a formal demand that the security
council consider the February 20
change In the Czechoslovak govern
ment Dr. Papanek was a friend of Jan

for by throwing Csecluwlovakla to
the Hitler wolves.
HS it turned out. that wasn't true.
" Instead of being appeased. Hit
ler's appetite was merely WHETTED.
He thought he hnd Britain and
France ou the run. WAR FOL
LOWED in a matter of weeks.
Still, you can understand the
feeling of the Czechs. They had
been thrown to the ravening beasts
by their friends. In their angry dis
illusionment, they TURNED TO
RUSSIA.
Russia, too. BETRAYED THEM.
The final chapter of the story of
their DOUBLE betrayal has Just
been told.
IMAGINE Masaryk, sitting 111 Ills
office, with the liberty of his peo
ple lying in ruin outside his window.
By turning to Russia partly in
anger ovtr a previous betrayal.
partly In hope of saving something
from the wreck he had sold his
own liberty-loving nation Into the
slavery that had finally and Irre
vocably arrived.
His thoughts must have been
bluer, indeed. In that hour of
agony, self-destruction might easily
have seemed the only answer.
RT any rate, there Is the story ot
" APPEASEMENT and what il
brings.
If we appease Russia long enough
and cravenly enough; it will bring
us to where Czechoslovakia now lies.

Political Quip
Drive On 'Mac
TOKYO, March 11 f,V-aeneral
Mac Arthur may as well get used to
l- The political gags have started.
"As Hokkaido goes so goes the
nation." quipped one American,
wno promised to "get out the vote"
on that northern Island, a sort of
Maine of Japan.
"What will MacArthur do about
the deep South?" another line goes.
'Will there be civil liberties for
Kyushuans?" (Kyushu Is the south
home island.)
A favorite pastime among Ameri
cans, both civilian and uniformed,
is selecting a cabinet. You'd be sur
prised how olten Emperor Hiro
hito's name crops up.
There also is one campaign slo
gan afloat which carries a note of
validity. It was coined by an Ameri
can in the occupation forces who
has been in Japan a long time. It Is:
Le"s go back with Mac."
